{"product_id":"1909-warrantee-atlas-of-lawrence-county-pennsylvania","title":"1909 Warrantee Atlas of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1909 the Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs, under Secretary Henry Houck, published this Warrantee Atlas of Lawrence County, constructed from the original land warrants, surveys and patents on file at Harrisburg and from surveys made on the ground in 1908. This edition is a complete facsimile, printed in full color, so the hand-colored plates and every page of the original are reproduced as issued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA warrantee atlas is a different thing from an ordinary landowner atlas, and far more useful to anyone tracing a title back to its beginning. Instead of the owners at the date of publication, these plates map the original tracts as the Commonwealth first granted them, each one lettered with the name of the warrantee, the dates of the warrant and the survey, the patentee and the acreage. Colored washes distinguish the survey districts, so the pattern of settlement across the county can be read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume opens with the Department's certificate signed by Henry Houck and a historical sketch of original land titles in Lawrence County, then the map of survey districts and the township index map, followed by nineteen plates covering Wayne, Perry, North Beaver, Little Beaver, Big Beaver, Taylor, Shenango, Slippery Rock, Scott, Plaingrove, Wilmington, Washington, Pulaski, Mahoning, Union, Neshannock and Hickory townships, with the City of New Castle and the boroughs of New Wilmington, Enon Valley, Wampum, Volant, Hazel Dell, Ellwood City and South New Castle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential reference for genealogists, land-title researchers, and collectors of Lawrence County and western Pennsylvania history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e32 pages. 8.5\" x 8.5\".
